Question
Is there any new classified / buy & sell website? I am tired of ebay or craigslist. I heard there is one new website called click2city.com, I am not sure if it is a auction site...

Answer
Hi Nikki,

The only free classified site I've dealt with is Craigslist. I did look at click2city. It looks nice but since it is pretty new it won't have the exposure like craigslist. At least not for awhile. It doesn't look like the site handles auctions either. If that is what you are looking for you may want to do a google search for "online auctions" to find an alternative to ebay.

Sorry if that isn't much help. I've pretty much limited my activities to the two sites you are looking to move away from.

Good luck finding a site that works for you!

Hi there! After being a member of the eBay "community" for the past ten years, I have decided to look elsewhere to sell my items. Ebay has, and will agiain in the next month, instituted rediculous policies and fee increases that are not beneficial to the small seller. They are positioning themselves to be another site such as Amazon and are forcing sellers to reduce or eliminate shipping charges (even when they must pay to ship items) as well as preventing the acceptence of checks or money orders as payment. This is all geared to improve eBay's bottom line. I will still be happy to help answer most any question you may have regarding the buying and selling experience on eBay based on my experiences. However, I am looking at sites such as ebid.net that are much more favorable to us small sellers and buyers. You may want to check them out as well.

Experience

I've been an active member on eBay for almost ten years. I started buying and selling as a hobby and turned it into a business that I ran from home for a time.

Education/Credentials
Nothing special here. Some college. Went to work in the computer industry when the PC was just rolling out to the desktops of the world. I'm streetsmart and self taught in most things I know. Especially with eBay and online selling.
